US EditionCOSAR Pauses Search for Possible Missing Woman at Kelowna's Mission Creek
- Volunteers from the regional search and rescue team suspended their evening efforts on May 28 to locate a young woman who may have entered Mission Creek near the intersection of Casorso and Swamp Road in Kelowna.
- The search began after a witness reported at about 5:10 p.m. That the woman possibly jumped into the fast-flowing, swollen creek and did not resurface, prompting multi-agency deployment.
- Responders including the RCMP, fire department, and COSAR deployed boats, ground personnel, and a police helicopter to search the stretch of Mission Creek near the Casorso Road area extending toward Okanagan Lake.

- As of 9 p.m., many units concluded operations but some personnel remain in the area, and the RCMP urges anyone with information or the woman herself to contact 250-762-3300 immediately.
